Yea....... I experienced that with a massive 5-6 foot tall dwarf red. I got it from a cousin that had them growing at their beach house in Sarasota. Whole trunk died, and I am left with a two foot tall plant. Really sucks 😀.

Woohooo!.....Finally, I harvested my first Musa Praying Hands bunch!*****Taste Report!*****Musa Praying Hands is a creamy Nana Variety with a hint of vanilla flavor to it!....One of my favorites!.....So far I have tasted The Real/True To Type Musa Blue Java, Musa Namwah (Pisang Awak, both tall and dwarf) and the only one with a hint of vanilla taste to it it's Musa Praying Hands!....



Pictures from 12/11/2019.....







*****An Update is coming soon!*****
glad you liked the reds, growing nicely. I had several survive last years winter but they didn't grow well after that along with number of other varieties. maybe next year. seems like winter is a little hard on the dwr. have a friend I gave one to but she covers hers in the winter. looks fantastic, but she hasn't got it to fruit yet. [keeps moving it around]


got my first taste of praying hands bananas. finished at the end of November almost exactly 6 months. half again what you got, but there were a total of 33 bananas. maybe next year I will see more rain.

a really thick, heavy, creamy banana, I could see my teeth marks in the banana as I ate it. I ate the first one yellow. the center of the banana was finished with no stick in the middle like others do but...…..
tasted like vanilla extract, BLECH. not to be eated YELLOW!!!!!



the raja puri were nice tasting, rather like pealing berries. pretty much the same taste as the cavendish. and 6 months of watching and waiting.

heres to a better next year.

Master Beam,



Really thank you for sending the awesome Dwarf Red’s!.....I appreciate it buddy!....Once she opens 4-5 leaves, Dwarf Red will be transplant it to the ground!....Hopefully she grows awesome for me!....


I’m glad that you tasted Musa Praying Hands too!....Wooohoooo!.....You also confirmed in the vanilla taste/flavor!.....I told you!....I sent some Musa Praying Hands to my bro Ty in Texas recently!....Ty was in shock!....He couldn’t believe the creamy vanillla taste of Praying Hands!....I was visiting Going Bananas in Homestead, Florida, when I first tasted Praying Hands years ago!.....As my bro Ty, I was in shock too!....Instantly Praying Hands became one of my favorite Nana Varieties!....I definitely had to grow it!....
